Festive Presentation
As you can probably guess from the picture above, I spent my formative years in the kitchen with the 1960s edition of the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. In the world of BH&G (at least back in those days), nothing improved an everyday dish more than a festive presentation. Sometimes, like last night when I made this salad to take next door, I find myself channeling that 1960s BH&G home cook without even thinking about it. It just seems to happen on its own.
I'm continuing my practice of the housewifely arts today with a meatloaf and homemade macaroni and cheese. Possibly not the most traditional Christmas dinner, but easy and tasty.
Hope you are enjoying your day in the way you like best, too.

My mom has a couple of those older cookbooks - a Betty Crocker of her own, and a Better Homes and Garden one that belonged to her mother. I think they are from the 1950s though. The only photos of men cooking show them at an outdoor grill - ha!
Merry Christmas week to you!
